It seems like my off day is the only day i get to sleep alot.
I slept for like 15hours straight...
Yesterday for the first time in my life, i went for acupuncture.
My wrist have been hurting for months and mama ask me to go acupuncture with her.
So i thought why not?
Its not painful when the needle went in.
But its OMG when he give the needle a twist from time to time.

Yesterday was also the first time i got to work in the pastry dept.
Even though alfred was busy, he still spare time to teach me a couple of basic techniques,
like proper way of folding in different ingredients,
how to gauge temperature when making cream, mousse, etc.
tips and tricks and of course damn lots of shortcuts.

I'm beginning to appreciate "shortcuts" ways of preparing food.
Its like reverse engineering. You need to know the final product then you can cut it short. Imagine i would have took maybe 4-6 hours to make a gravy, W took only 30mins.

I got a 4 hours crash course on making cheesecakes. A baked NY cheesecake with recipe from a famous chain of coffeehouse. And a Jap cheesecake which is almost good enough to rival that "moo moo cow" cheescake..

Now maybe i should get a oven next month...
